, , , ,

If you're interested in power, speed or range, then pay close attention to the e-bike size. The majority of e-bikes currently available today are based around a

36 or 48-Volt

battery; typically providing very modest power, speed and hill climbing performance.

How long will a 36V 10Ah battery last?

A 36-volt 10-Ah battery pack has 360 watt hours (36 X 10 = 360). If you are nitty with your energy usage, each mile you travel will cost you about 20 watt hours. Therefore a 360 watt hour pack will get you about

18 miles

.

How long will 48V 20Ah battery last?

In theory, a bike with two riders, loading 150 kg, 48V 20Ah battery pack could run

40 Km

, and a bike with one rider could run 70 km with a smaller accelerator. Accelerator pedal size has a big effect on mileage. The 48V12A battery, theoretically, could run 40-50 kilometers with 300 pounds of cargo.

Are ebike batteries AC or DC?

Alternating current (AC) is an electric current which periodically reverses direction, in contrast to direct current (DC) which flows only in one direction. Ebikes have

DC motors

that are electronically commutated through 3 successive phases.

How far can an electric bike go on a full charge?

With relaxed pedaling expect

22-50 miles

on a single charge for most e-bikes. In some cases you'll go even farther. We have bikes that are getting 80+ miles on a single charge. Range will also be impacted by the battery capacity, the hills, wind and your size.

Is 350w eBike enough?


If you're of average weight, about 150 lbs, a 350 watt motor will have enough power for flat roads with a few moderate hills tossed in

. You may have to pedal with the motor to get up some hills, but the beauty of an electric bike is that they assist you in such tasks.

How far can a 250W electric bike go?

Battery Capacity

Full power range (250W)

Medium power range (120W)
5.2Ah (ECO) 45 mins 1hr 30 mins 7Ah (PRO) 1 hour 2 hours 5 minutes

Can I use a 60V battery on a 48V motor?

Re: How to use a 60v battery pack on 48v motor

You need to know the max voltage charge of your 60V pack to determine if it will work with your setup. What's the specs on the pack? At worst, you will need a new controller, but

if max charge is 60V, then it will work fine without a problem

.

What is better 24v or 48V?


If your energy needs are around 1,000 to 5,000 watts, go for a 24 volt system. If your energy needs are over 3,000 watts, go for a 48 volt system

. Large off-grid houses often use 48V.

How fast is a 1000w eBike?

While it might not seem that fast when compared to driving, a 1000-watt e-bike equates to a speed of

roughly 35mph

. These powerful e-bikes are typically used for off-roading activities and rough terrain, as opposed to a routine commute.

Can I put a bigger battery on my ebike?


You can buy a battery with a large capacity and nothing really changes

. The voltage matters. You want the system voltage or something that is within the range of the controller.

How long does a giant e-bike battery last?

All batteries are 36v Lithium-Ion batteries built with high-quality Panasonic cells, ensuring your battery can be charged comfortably over 1000 times. To put it into context, that provides

up to 140,000 km or 7500 hours

of riding!

What is a good ebike battery?

Cell Chemistry:

Lithium-ion (li-ion) batteries

are the best option for e-bikes. Although lead-acid batteries are significantly cheaper, they're three times as heavy as their li-ion equivalents.

Should I charge my ebike after every ride?

IMPORTANT CHARGING INFORMATION

It is good practice to recharge as soon as is reasonably possible after the battery goes flat.

We recommend charging after every ride

, that way your electric bike is always ready for your next outing. Switch off the battery before charging. (If the battery has a switch on it).

Do Ebikes charge as you pedal?

Sometimes people ask whether our electric bikes will recharge while pedaling. Although it is conceivable that this could be done, because of the low 10% return on input, you would need to pedal 10km to give 1km charge. For this reason

all our electric bikes simply plug into the wall to charge

.

Does an electric bike keep you fit?

E-bikes are an incredible way to get some exercise, even for advanced bikers or super fit people.

Electric bikes can improve your fitness and biking skills in ways you may never have thought of

. They can help you tackle steep hills and push through headwinds, allowing you to travel further without getting as fatigued.

How long does an ebike controller last?

On average, an electric bike controller will last

a minimum of 3-4 years

, just like the battery and the motor. You can determine the need to replace the controller by testing it with a multimeter to measure the voltage crossing the terminals.

Is Ebike a 3 phase motor?

Re: 3 Phase E-bike?

Nearly all the brushless motors on bikes are 3-phase BLDC

.

Which motor is used in electric bike?


Three-phase motors

are the most popular among all the configurations and are widely used in E-bikes. The stator of a BLDC motor consists of stacked steel laminations with windings placed in the slots that are axially cut along the inner periphery.

How fast can a 3000w eBike go?

It is about 50 mph (80 km/h), a 3000w e-bikes can reach speeds of

How fast does a 750w e-bike go?

A 750w electric bike averages

27 to 28 mph

on flat terrain.

Can I use a 48V battery with a 36V motor?


Most 36V controllers will support a 48V pack

, but the LVC will still be set for a 36V pack, so you'll need to monitor pack voltage and not let it get too low. You can verify this by opening the controller and checking the caps and fets. If it has 63V main caps it should be fine.
